HELP, Detected but not responding

Archiver

After searching the message boards and realizing my problem is a tad
to basic for them I have decided to send you this plea for help. The
BASIC editor says that the stamp is detected but not responding,
check power supply. I have a 9V battery, running through a
1000microF capactor, running to pins 24 and 23 (positive and
negitivly respectivally). When checked with a voltmeter the chip is
recieving 9V of power and is sending 5V of power off pin 21(the
regulated output), i have checked, re checked and bought a new serial
cable as well but this does not fix the problem. What suggestions do
you have to fix this thing, it is for a science fair project due in
january and a speedy reply would be much appricated.

Thanks
